Campaign Story
Hello we are the Givens family, Cliff and Shana. We want you to know we don’t ask for your help lightly. We aren’t the most outspoken people and talking about this kind of thing is not the easiest. That being said we don’t know how we can do this without the support of family, friends, and strangers.
We started our journey to get pregnant and grow our family 3 1/2 year ago before we were even married.
Shana was diagnosed with a medical condition called scleroderma when she was 7 that still affects her to this day. Luckily she has the least severe kind. But it still left her with atrophy on her left side, the inability to grow hair on her head (like me), and chronic joint pain that she must take medicine for. So before we could even start trying she had to get off certain medications and be tested to make sure it was safe for her and the baby. Finally after a year of suffering and getting off her meds they gave us the go head to try. We tried for 2 years with no luck. Then after a battery of tests and seeing different Dr.s they decided that “Me Her Dream Man” was probably a big contributor to the problem and IVF would be our only way forward.
We met late in life after both of us had pretty much given up on the thought of children. I spent most of my twenties helping my parents with my grandma who had alzheimers. While Shana has had more then her share of obstacles. She got her medical condition when she was 7 and then her world was upended when she was 13 by the death of her father. Her first marriage didn’t work out and left her in a bad place. But then we found each other and a world of possibilities opened up to us.
That is why I am humbly asking for your help to make this wonderful woman the mother I know she is. Any amount you can give will help or just sharing this link would be greatly appreciated. Also any prayers would be warmly received if you are so inclined. Thank you for taking the time to read this and helping in your own way to bring a new life into this world.
